With society & geopolitics approaching a precipice, here's my favorite lyrics from "The Black Eyed Peas"

Where Is The Love?

By the Black Eyed Peas.

(1'st verse)
What's wrong with world, mamma?
People livin' like they ain't got no mammas.
I think the whole world is addicted to the drama.
Only attracted to things that bring trauma.

Overseas, yeah! We try to stop terrorism...
But we got terrorists here livin' in the USA.
the big CIA, the Bloods and the Crips and the KKK.
But if you only have love for your own race.
Then you only have love to discriminate.
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate
Then you're bound to get irate, yeah.
And that's exactly how anger works and operates.
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight.
Take control of your mind and meditate.
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all...y'all.

(chorus)
People killin' people dyin'
Children hurtin', you hear them cryin.
Can you practive what you preach?
Can you turn theother cheek?
Father! Father! Father help us!
Send some guidance from above.
'Cause people got me got me questionin'
Where is the love? The love...
The love the love the love....

(2'd verse)
It just ain't the same, always unchanged.
Nowadays are strange.
Is the world insane?
If love and peace are so strong,
Why are their pieces that don't belong?
Nations droppin' bombs
Chemicals fillin' lungs of little ones
With ongoing sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself, is the lovin' really gone?
So I could ask myself, really what is going wrong?

In this world that I'm livin' in
People keep on given' in
Making wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends.
Not respectin' each other, denying thy brother.
A war is going on
But the reason's undercover
The truth kept secret, it's swept under the rug.
If you never know truth then you never know love.
Where's the love, y'all?
Where's the truth, y'all?

(last verse)

Sing wit me, y'all.
One world, one world (we only got)
one world, one world (that's all we got)
one world, one world.
And something's wrong with it (yeah!)
Something's wrong wit it (yeah!)
Somethings' wrong wit the wo-wo-world.
